Everyone needs comfort media - some kind of music, game, or show that they watch after a hard day.
For me it’s Vine compilations and Yosuto’s “I play X song but it’s actually Y”

Well, after dipping my toes in Bluesky for a bit, I think I like it. I’m gonna start using @reticentpundit.bsky.social as my main account. Follow me there if you wanna hear more from me! I’ll probably keep my satirical quips, memes, and shitposts here, if that’s what you like 😜

I just saw an obituary headline for a bacteriologist described as “a giant in his field” and I’m like of course have you seen how small bacteria are?

“Calling atheism a religion is like calling the act of not collecting stamps a hobby” - random YouTube comment
This is interesting, because if I said “the stamps example is a gross misrepresentation of Minimalism” then ironically that ALSO kind of perfectly fits this person’s point

A life is infinitesimally short. Life is incomprehensibly enduring.
Sometimes I think, "Compared to geological time, living things exist for only little blinks," but other times I think, "actually, life is one continuous chemical chain that first formed billions of years ago and every mountain range that existed back then has long since crumbled away to dust."

I was fingerpicking “Chasing the Dragon” by Epica, and when I hit a Dadd4*, I immediately had that chord play in my head from Shinedown’s “45” and Rise Against’s “Swing Life Away.”
*I totally googled the chord. I do NOT know the names of anything but the basic chords lmao

We all know what 3D printing is, and 2D printing is obviously paper, which means print("Hello world") is 1D printing.

Sometimes it feels like our government is a bit like the British. Instead of a royal family, we vote for a single Prom King/Queen. Everyone follows them like a reality TV drama. And to the side, other government branches do their work.
I know this is not how it actually works, just a funny analogue

My fear of going to the dentist is the shame of them finding cavities in every corner. But if I don’t think about it, then I can happily pretend they are healthy. When they are not being observed, they are neither healthy nor unhealthy.

The Witcher books are surprisingly relevant. Geralt struggles to stay neutral amidst extreme opposing sides. Constantly forced to take a stand on issues he doesn’t want to be involved in, just to protect those he cares about.
In the end he sides against senseless violence, and is killed in a mob.

Just saw that there’s an American New Deal petition calling on Biden+Harris to challenge the validity of the election and hold a new one.
I am devastated by the outcome of this election, but don’t you think it’s dangerous and irresponsible? Last attempt to overthrow an election was a tragedy. 1/x

Speaking of Yosuto, I NEED a 10 minute long version of him noodling around off “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” like he does at the start of this vid:

After “fixing a bug” that was actually an intended side effect of a Requested Feature, I have decided that a majority of issues are not because something is hard, but because nobody took the time to think about whether or not it was a good idea….

Feels like I'm just posting to the void since I'm just getting started here, but why not. I write a weekly newsletter, and this week I write about how far away from reading and critical thinking we’ve come. It's lacking in our education, COVID learning loss, social media attention spans, all of it.
We need to get back to reading and critical thinking
Because 2024 feels different from 2016.
